The Canon "EOS80D" is a crop sensor camera for prosumers with improved 45-point type all-cross AF system while 19-point type all-cross with EOS70D, capturing a subject precisely in any composition. "Dual Pixel CMOS AF" where each and single pixel on the CMOS sensor is consists of two independent photodiodes enabling you to shoot video like a camcorder with smooth, fast, and accurate autofocus.
The INON "X-2 for EOS80D VC" housing is built on the concept of "More freely. More photos.". The first priority to design the housing is to provide light underwater weight. Having more hollow space inside of the housing creating more buoyancy to acquire 285g (10.05oz) less underwater weight which is equivalent to two of INON Float Arm M (buoyancy 135g per unit) comparing to the previous "X-2 for EOS70D". When you shoot with swimming by school of fish or need precise focusing during macro shooting, the lightweight and user-friendly "X-2 for EOS80D VC" housing supports to capture your precious moment. Same style of X-2 series housing is succeeded to hold the housing directly by the right hand. The depth of the housing remains same as the previous "X-2 for EOS70D" housing despite of larger volume to keep comfortable buoyancy. Buttons and levers on the housing are carefully located as much as like camera's controls for intuitive and speedy operation underwater.

The X-2 for EOS80D VC is made from corrosion resistance aluminum alloy by ultraprecise cast manufacturing technique enabling thin body plate with complicated design which is not possible with machining. More curvature designs for easy handling and reserve space effectively to reduce underwater weight. The robust aluminum alloy body has acquired reliability, durability and controllability even in severe underwater to fuse design, weight and durability in higher dimension.

Cast manufacturing allows flexible design to put various ingenuities for trouble-free underwater operation as like controlling camera on land, where your right thumb and mid finger securely hold a housing without effort, index finger can naturally access to the shutter release lever and aperture or shutter speed can be easily adjusted without seeing those dials during checking composition through the viewfinder. The INON X-2 for EOS80D VC pursues intimate controllability to “capture the moment” in addition to accessibility to all necessary controls/dials for underwater photography (*5). The housing is equipped lever to access to “AF area selection mode button” to benefit 45-point type all-cross AF feature offered by the EOS 80D.
 
* [Multi-controller], and [Multi function lock switch] are not accessible.

Buttons, dial levers are not directly attached on the aluminum alloy housing body but installed via brass bearings to prevent the aluminum housing body from galling caused by sliding of buttons and movement of dial levers to secure waterproof property. Only minimum parts replacement can refresh these controls even you need to change bearings. Buttons and dial levers carry oil bearing type INON yellow O-rings to prevent accidental flooding due to lack of grease. Also their size is thicker than required to enhance waterproof property. Those dials and levers employs double yellow O-ring structure to maintain stable controllability and secure water-proof property.

Flooding-free four Optical D Connectors are equipped as standard feature to benefit simple yet reliable "S-TTL" Auto shooting simply by plug-in "Optical D Cable Type L". It is important to effectively transmit built-in flash light to fiber optics to benefit accuracy of S-TTL Auto. The housing is equipped with a mirror inside to induce built-in flash light to Optical D Connectors properly to provide stable and accurate S-TTL Auto exposure control.

The housing body is coated by special painting to add superior corrosion resistance and wear resistance. In addition, the front body and rear body has a zinc corrosion suppression unit one each on the bottom. As zinc corrodes in seawater before housing body to suppress erosion of the housing.

The housing offers a leak sensor circuit as standard feature to warn you with red LED and buzzer in case of accidental flooding.
